Salads

  • Fattoush: A delicious tangy dressing drizzled over bright lively-colored vegetables, this salad introduces a bowl with tons of flavors!
  • Sumac Onions Salad: A combination of finely chopped parsley, red onions, and sumac.
  • Coleslaw Salad: Crisp and colorful shredded cabbage tossed in a simple creamy dressing with a hint of sweetness.

Dips and Sauces

  • Creamy Hummus: It is beautifully smooth, swirled, and fluffy. The combination of tahini and fresh lemon juice makes hummus delightfully zippy.
  • Tzatziki Sauce: A wonderful combination of Greek yogurt, cucumber, minced garlic cloves, olive oil, and fresh herbs.

Fluffy Grains

  • Fluffy Quinoa: A bowl of delicate, light, and soft fluffy cooked grains.
  • Cajun Rice: A tasty one-pan meal that features fragrant rice seasoned with Cajun spices.

Roasted Veggies

  • Roasted Mixed Vegetables: It introduces perfectly roasted tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and okra, seasoned with some garlic and spices.
  • Spicy Cajun Grilled Corn: A recipe of a few ingredients like corn, spices, cheese, and butter.

Notes

Tip 1: Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, in the refrigerator to allow it to tenderize. It will make the chicken more juicy and flavorful.
Tip 2: If using bamboo sticks, soak them for 30-45 minutes. This will keep them from burning and possibly causing burnt woodchips to accumulate inside the shish tawook.
